You’ll also learn decision making strategies to help ensure you navigate the challenges of farming with confidence. See what the 2023 programme entailed here.
If you're actively engaged in sheep and beef or drystock farming, aged between 18 and 45, and eager to learn and enhance profitability, this programme is tailor-made for you.
Olivia Weatherburn, B+LNZ's National Programme Manager says:
"On top of growing crucial business skills to boost your farming career, you'll also connect with a network of farmers in your area and become part of the Generation Next Alumni."
Given the programme's growing popularity, there are limited spots available – only 20 in each of the six locations across the country. Weatherburn advises, "If you're considering applying, don't hesitate!"
2022 B+LNZ Generation Next Alumni, Lachie McKenzie said: “If you’re thinking of giving it a go – do! You have nothing to lose. Even if you believe you have a sound future business model or succession sorted, there’s will always be something of value to take away in programmes like B+LNZ’s Generation Next.”
